Description

The present invention relates to a stacked mounting structure, and more particularly to a three-dimensional stacked mounting structure formed by stacking a plurality of members in the thickness direction of members.

  Conventionally, various structures have been proposed for a structure including a substrate on which electronic components are mounted (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a mounting structure related to an imaging unit provided at a distal end portion of an endoscope 10 as shown in FIG. Here, a technique is described in which a mounting substrate is stacked in parallel with the imaging element 11. In this technique, first, the mounting substrate 12 is arranged in parallel with the image sensor 11. And the mounting board | substrate 12 with which the image pick-up element 11 was mounted, and the mounting board | substrate 13 with which other components are mounted are mounted via a spacer. Thereby, the mounting components on the mounting substrate can be arranged in the space obtained by the height of the spacer. Therefore, the mounting density of the mounting structure can be improved. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of the imaging unit provided at the distal end portion of the endoscope.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a configuration of a mounting structure 20 including a memory module substrate 24 as shown in FIG. The inside of the opposing substrate 21 is hollow. A plurality of electrodes are provided on both surfaces of the substrate 21. And the electrode of the surface of the board | substrate 21 and the electrode of the back surface of the board | substrate 21 which opposes are mutually connected electrically. The anisotropic conductive film 22 is attached to both surfaces of the conductive spacer 25 at the connection portion between the electrodes. As described above, Patent Document 2 discloses a mounting structure of the substrate 21 on which the electronic component 23 is mounted. In this configuration, an electrode is provided on a through hole provided on the conductive spacer 25 for bonding the conductive spacer 25 and the anisotropic conductive film 22.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-38417 JP-A-11-111914

  In the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, electrical continuity between the stacked substrates is ensured by the lead wires 14. It is difficult to automate operations between the substrates using the lead wires 14. For example, the operation of placing a short lead wire on a three-dimensionally arranged minute structure and soldering cannot be handled by a general automatic mounting machine.

  Therefore, the attachment work of the lead wire 14 is naturally a manual work. Also, even if it is done manually, such mounting contents fall into a highly difficult category. A technique that is difficult to automate and has a high work difficulty has a problem of increasing the mounting cost and reducing the production capacity. Further, considering the size of the lead wire that can be handled manually and the gap between the lead wires that can be controlled during handling, the configuration of the conventional technique is disadvantageous for downsizing the mounting structure.

  Further, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to provide an electrode having a larger area than the outline of the through hole on the conductive spacer 25, as is apparent from FIG. For this reason, it becomes difficult to narrow the pitch of the joint. In other words, it is difficult to reduce the projected area when the mounting structure is viewed from above. In this configuration, the anisotropic conductive film 22 is used as a bonding material between the conductive spacer 25 and the substrate 21. For this reason, there exists a fault that the connection resistance value between the conductive spacer 25 and the board | substrate 21 will become high.

  As described above, it is difficult for the mounting structure according to the prior art to secure good productivity when performing the substrate stack mounting via the spacer for securing the mounting space for the electronic component. It is also difficult to reduce the size so as to reduce the projected area of the substrate in the planar direction.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described problems. In a stacked mounting structure in which a plurality of substrates are connected via spacers and mounting components are mounted in a space between the substrates, the plane of the substrate To provide a stacked mounting structure that achieves yield improvement, cost reduction, and manufacturing time reduction by reducing the connection resistance and reducing the manufacturing process while reducing the size to reduce the projected area in the direction. With the goal.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, according to the present invention, the first member on which the mounted component is mounted, the first member is disposed facing the first member, and the other mounted component is Installed between at least two members of the mounted second member, the first member and the second member, and connecting the first member and the second member with a predetermined gap, An intermediate member having a space for housing a mounted component, wherein the first member and the second member include at least a pair of a first electrode and a second electrode. And a projection electrode provided on at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode, and a middle perpendicular to the surface on which the first electrode or the second electrode is formed Conductive portion formed on the surface of the member for electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode The first electrode and the second member of the first member are formed by forming a recess in the surface of the intermediate member orthogonal to the surface on which the first electrode or the second electrode is formed. Each of the second electrodes is exposed, and the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected via the protruding electrode and the conductive portion in the recess provided in the intermediate member. A stacked mounting structure can be provided.

  According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, it is desirable that a first protruding electrode is formed on the first electrode and a second protruding electrode is formed on the second electrode.

  Moreover, according to the preferable aspect of this invention, it is desirable that the protruding electrode is formed by stacking.

  According to the present invention, in a stacked mounting structure in which a plurality of substrates are connected via spacers and a mounting component is mounted in a space between the substrates, the size of the substrate can be reduced while reducing the projected area in the plane direction. As a result, it is possible to provide a stacked mounting structure that can improve the yield, reduce the cost, and shorten the manufacturing time by reducing the connection resistance and reducing the number of manufacturing steps.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the stacked mounting structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

  FIG. 1 shows a perspective configuration of an exploded state of the stacked mounting structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. On the first substrate 101a, various devices 102a1, 102a2, and 102a3 (hereinafter, referred to as “devices 102a1 and the like” as appropriate) which are electronic components such as passive components and active components are mounted. On the second substrate 101b, various other devices 102b1, 102b2, and 102b3 (hereinafter referred to as “device 102b1 etc.” as appropriate) which are electronic components such as passive components and active components are mounted. The first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b are disposed to face each other. Note that the first substrate 101a corresponds to the first member. The second substrate 101b corresponds to the second member. The devices 102a1, 102b1, etc. correspond to mounted components.

  The first substrate 101a, the second substrate 101b, and an intermediate substrate 103 to be described later are each composed of an organic substrate, a ceramic substrate, a glass substrate, and the like. Further, the first substrate 101a, the second substrate 101b, and the intermediate substrate 103 may be a composite substrate in which the substrates are combined.

  In addition, at least a pair of first connection terminals 104a and second connection terminals 104b are formed on the first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b. The first connection terminal 104a corresponds to the first electrode. The second connection terminal 104b corresponds to the second electrode.

  A connection terminal 104a (not shown in FIG. 1) provided on the first substrate 101a is electrically connected to various devices 102a1 and the like mounted on the first substrate 101a. The connection terminal 104a also has a function of electrically connecting the device 102a1 and the like to the second substrate 101b.

  Similarly, the connection terminal 104b provided on the second substrate 101b is electrically connected to various devices 102b1 and the like which are electronic components mounted on the second substrate 101b. Further, the connection terminal 104b also has a function of electrically connecting the device 102b1 and the like to the first substrate 101a.

  Further, the intermediate substrate 103 is disposed between the first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b. The intermediate substrate 103 connects the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 101b with a predetermined gap, and has an opening accommodating portion 103a that is a space for accommodating a device 102b1 or the like as a mounted component inside.

  Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the surface of the intermediate substrate 103 that is orthogonal to the surface on which the first connection terminal 104a or the second connection terminal 104b is formed is hereinafter referred to as “side surface of the intermediate substrate 103” as appropriate.

  An opening housing portion 103a is formed in a direction perpendicular to the side surface direction of the intermediate substrate 103 by drilling, punching, laser processing, etching, mold molding, or the like. The height of the intermediate substrate 103 is configured to be equal to or greater than the heights of various devices 102b1 mounted on the second substrate 101b.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, a recess 106 (groove) is formed on the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103. Thus, the first connection terminal 104a of the first substrate 101a and the second connection terminal 104b of the second substrate 101b are exposed. As shown in FIG. 1, the recess 106 is formed over the periphery of the intermediate substrate 103. Further, the recess 106 is continuously formed at a certain depth.

  According to this embodiment, the recess 106 is formed on at least a part of the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103. Therefore, part of the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b is exposed in the main surface direction of the substrate. Accordingly, the bonding area of the connection terminals of the first substrate 101a and the intermediate substrate 103 and the second substrate 101b and the intermediate substrate 103 can be increased.

  Further description will be continued using the cross-sectional configuration of the A-A ′ plane in FIG. 2. 3 and 4 show the configuration of the A-A ′ cross section in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3A, protruding electrodes 201 are formed on the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b so as to face each other.

  Further, a recess 106 is formed at a position where the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b face each other. As described above, when viewed from the stacking direction, the first connection terminal 104a, the second connection terminal 104b, and the recess 106 are arranged to be on the same projection plane.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the conductive paste 105 is supplied from the conductive paste supply unit 202 to the recess 106 formed on the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103. Accordingly, a wiring can be formed between the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b can be electrically connected. The protruding electrodes 201 are connected to each other with a conductive paste 105. The conductive paste 105 corresponds to the conductive part. FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103 viewed from the y direction.

  Here, the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b are formed by plating. The material may be a conductive material such as Au, Cu, or Ag.

  The protruding electrode 201 is a stud bump made of Au. The protruding electrode 201 can also be formed by a printed bump or a plated bump made of a conductive material. The shape of the protruding electrode 201 is such that the tip 201a is the thinnest.

  As described above, the first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b are disposed to face each other. The first connection terminal 104 a and the second connection terminal 104 b are arranged at positions that completely overlap with each other on the projection plane viewed from the stacking direction with respect to the recess 106 (groove) provided in the intermediate substrate 103.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b are positions where the concave portions 106 (grooves) provided in the intermediate substrate 103 partially overlap on the projection plane viewed from the stacking direction. You may arrange in.

  The shape of the electrodes of the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b is, for example, a rectangular shape having a side of 140 μm. Note that the shape of the electrode is not limited to this, and may be any shape. Further, the protruding electrode 201 provided on each of the first connection terminal 104a and the second connection terminal 104b is completely overlapped on the projection surface viewed from the stacking direction with respect to the recess 106 (groove) provided in the intermediate substrate 103. It is arranged at the position to do. Furthermore, the diameter of the protruding electrode 201 is, for example, φ80 μm. The diameter of the protruding electrode 201 may be equal to or smaller than the dimension (depth) of the recess 106.

  A conductive paste 105 is arranged in a space surrounded by the first substrate 101 a, the second substrate 101 b, the first and second connection terminals 104 a, 104 b, the protruding electrode 201, and the intermediate substrate 103.

  The conductive paste 105 is, for example, a paste containing Ag particles (particle size 50 to 5000 nm) and Ag nanoparticles (particle size 5 to 20 nm). Note that the first substrate 101a, the intermediate substrate 103, and the second substrate 101b are each fixed by an adhesive or the like.

  Thus, the first connection terminal 104 a and the second connection terminal 104 b are electrically connected via the protruding electrode 201 and the conductive paste 105 in the recess 106 provided in the intermediate substrate 103.

  In this embodiment, even when the conductive paste 105 is not in contact with the first and second connection terminals 104a and 104b, the conductive paste 105 and the first and second conductive pastes 105 are disposed in a larger range via the protruding electrodes 201. It is possible to ensure electrical connection with the connection terminals 104a and 104b. This makes it easy to control the amount of the conductive paste 105 to be supplied. For this reason, a design range can be made wider and manufacture becomes easy.

  Even when a dimensional change occurs when the conductive paste 105 is heat-cured, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of electrical connection failure in a larger range. As described above, according to this embodiment, even when an error occurs in the direction in which the conductive paste 105 formed in the recess 106 becomes smaller, the error can be offset within the range of the height of the protruding electrode 201. For this reason, electrical connection can be reliably performed. As a result, it is possible to obtain a stacked mounting structure that is not easily affected by the shape error of the conductive paste 105 in the recess 106.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the bonding area of the connection terminals of the first substrate 101a and the intermediate substrate 103 and the second substrate 101b and the intermediate substrate 103 can be increased. For this reason, it becomes possible to make junction resistance small. Therefore, it is possible to provide a stacked mounting structure with improved electrical connection quality.

  Furthermore, it is possible to provide a stacked mounting structure that is safe against electrical shorts. This is particularly effective when the stacked mounting structure is downsized and the conductive paste 105 of the intermediate substrate 103 is narrowed.

  In addition, the conductive paste 105 formed on the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103 can be contained in a projected image (projected area) when the first substrate 101a and the second substrate 101b are viewed from above.

  Next, a stacked mounting structure according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the side surface of the intermediate substrate 103 when the stacked mounting structure of this embodiment is viewed from the y direction. FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the A-A ′ cross section in the same manner as shown in FIG. 2.

  In this embodiment, each protruding electrode 201 is formed by further stacking protruding electrodes 301. In addition, the shape of the protruding electrode 301 is a shape in which the tip portion is the thinnest.

  In this embodiment, even when the amount of the conductive paste 105 to be supplied varies and the supply amount of the conductive paste is small, the electrical connection failure is larger in a larger range than when the protruding electrode 201 is one stage. Can be prevented.

  Even when a dimensional change occurs when the conductive paste 105 is heat-cured, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of electrical connection failure in a larger range. Further, the protruding electrodes 201 are stacked and multi-staged so that the conductive paste 105 is brought into contact with a larger protruding electrode surface area. For this reason, the electrical connection quality is further improved and stabilized.

  In each of the above embodiments, two opposing protruding electrodes 201 are used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which a protruding electrode is formed on at least one of the connection terminals 104a and 104b may be employed. Further, the stacking of the protruding electrodes 201 is not limited to two steps. By stacking the protruding electrodes 201 in three or more stages, the above-described effects can be further achieved.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a stacked mounting structure that is easy to manufacture, small in size, reliable in electrical connection, improved in quality, and stable. The present invention can take various modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  As described above, the stacked mounting structure according to the present invention can reliably join the terminals, and is useful for a small structure.
